Had great time thanks.
This is the third time travelling to Florida with our two (youngest being 4 months the first time) and whilst it isn't all plain sailing (or should that be PLANE sailing, sorry...[:o)]) it is very managable.
And once you get there the kids love the whole Florida feeling...Disney if you do it is great. My little monsters have the autograph, turn, pose and smile perfected....:) as demonstrated.

Another tip is make sure you take the time for your son to enjoy it as well...you see some people rushing around with a toddler trying to take it *all* in whilst the young 'un wants to take time and explore. And when they want to rest let them rest, as we all know they get cranky!!!
You and your family will have a great time.

We took our youngest when he was 12 months old and I must say the crew were much quicker warming his second bottle (after the fuss he made waiting for the first)
Our eldest was 3 at the time and spent ages watching one channel on the screen whilst listening to another - with a rather confused look on his face, kept him quiet anyway!

we didn't give our son calpol until about halfway through , when he was hot and bothered and fighting mr sandman. If you are unlucky and he is a bit restless or noisy just try not to get stressed the flight will soon go. Most of the stress is caused by worrying what other people are thinking. I'd rather have a restless or noisy child sitting next to me than a rude obnoxious adult.

Some lovely snap shots to remember their holiday by Brizzle.:)

I think what everyone needs to remember is that every child has a different temperement. If you are worried about travelling on the plane ask your health visitor for advice. I have been taking my kids out ( and they are now grown up with kids of their own) since they were very tiny and it wasn't Florida it was California ( much longer flight)
My eldest grandson is now 5yrs and has been coming to Florida with me, (he's been 14 times) since he was 9 months old, he has always been a dream to take, the other grandson is 2.5 and is a nightmare at home ( big style) and has been with me 3 times, I was panicking at the thought of him on board for 9 hours, but he has also been superb.
If you bring plenty of small toys ( not noisy ones) to amuse them, and crayons, plenty to eat, drink..especially milk ( dont forget you have to get rid of any fruit or milk products before you land) there is no reason why you shouldn't have a good flight, you will also find that they will have a pretty good sleep whilst flying.
I also took Calpol but never needed it, sweets at the begining & end to suck when taking off & landing because it can affect their ears ( not always)
And whatever you do, dont worry if your child cries or makes a noise on the plane, some people forget that they have had children, they should have a little sympathy for unsettled children, who just may not be a good traveller.
After all that you will have a fantastic time..enjoy !!
:D
